Diario de viaje entre los indios y negros de la Provincia de Cartagena en el Nuevo Reino de Granada, 1787-1788

"First published in 1955 under the editorship of Gerardo Reichel-Dolmatoff (see HLAS 20:2730), this newly reissued first-person account of the Franciscan friar's work among indigenous peoples and blacks in the San Jorge River valley again stands out as a telling portrayal of life and culture in southern Cartagena prov. The work highlights the continuing difficulties of evangelization, the complex character of society in the region, and the policy concerns of Archbishop-Viceroy Antonio Caballero y Góngora"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
